One of society's greatest achievements is the significant increase in life expectancy. In 2017, the median age of the population in the EU was 42.8 years, meaning that there was an increase of 4.2 years in median age for the 15-year period between 2002 and 2017 [1 ]. It is projected that by 2060 the median age will stabilize at 47.6 years, or, in other words, around 15 years higher than a century before. The population is living longer and healthier lives than ever before and this pattern is expectedto continue on the back of medical breakthroughs and continued improvements in the standard of living. Looking at healthy aging, it is known that there is a gradual age-related decline in cognitive mechanisms, beginning in young adulthood. Cognitive function can be highly influenced by a variety of factors including genetics, lifestyle and nutrition. Fortunately, the body of evidence suggesting nutritional factors influence cognitive capacity has been growing over the past few years [2]. This represents a challenge and an opportunity for the nutraceutical brain health market. Focused on providing inspired molecular solutions for nutrition and health in a changing world, Kemin developed Neumentix.
